APC Introduces Innovative Smart-UPS

Brussels – June 30, 2008 – APC, a global leader in integrated critical power and cooling services, today introduced its Smart-UPS® RT 15kVA and 20kVA power protection models in a space-saving 12U size for rack or tower installations.

The versatile double conversion online UPS offers users a flexible electrical configuration of 1:1, 3:1 or 3:3 input/output wiring that avoids rewiring of the server room or network closet. APC expects the new models will appeal to IT and facilities professionals who manage server rooms, server closets and small to medium data centers utilizing high density and critical applications. Also, APC anticipates that its Smart-UPS RT models will play an important role as a major power protection source to the new, higher end servers gaining acceptance in the market as a result of the server virtualization trend.

The new models are tested and certified for use within APC's InfraStruXure® architecture. APC's new Smart-UPS models can support applications such as single high density racks using blade servers, as well as medical imaging and diagnostics, VoIP/IP telephony, industrial or factory floor machinery, RFID and storage equipment.

Adaptability, availability, manageability and serviceability

They offer improved adaptability, availability, manageability and serviceability

The high density design in a 12U size saves valuable space. The UPS is configurable as single- or three-phase system and the dual mains input increases availability by allowing the UPS to connect to two separate power sources. On top of that the hot-swappable battery and system fans ensure uptime.

Bundled management solutions allow the UPS to be configured and diagnosed remotely as well as on on-site. A clear LCD-display communicates the status for fast diagnosis and control.
